Overview

Companies are required by law to report their foreign trade as foreign trade declarations to the local tax authorities. The type of return required for each business transaction is defined by law.

Example

In Germany, the legal requirements are set in the German foreign trade regulations. These regulations stipulate which forms a company must use for its returns.

The following is a more detailed explanation of terms of foreign trade reporting.

Return Type

The return type is a return that complies with the relevant national legal requirements.

Example

In Germany, payments from/to non-residents must be reported using form Z4. The return type is therefore Z4.

Report Key, Report Text, Document Group

The law states that the business transactions are to be listed under a report key with an appropriate report text, and, where necessary, with the document group.

Example

In Germany, the foreign trade regulations require that the following is reported:

Report key    540

Report text    Advertising and trade fair costs

Document group    1 for incoming payments

    2 for outgoing payments

Report key    900

Report text    Other payment; the

    purpose of the payment should

    always be fully explained to

    avoid queries.

Document group    1 for incoming payments

    2 for outgoing payments

The legal reporting key is described as the external reporting key below:

Internal Reporting Key

The internal reporting key is made up of the external reporting key, the report text, and the document group.

If there are various different report texts or document groups for an external reporting key, you have to create a separate internal reporting key for each possible combination.

Example

Internal reporting key    540b1

External reporting key    540

Report text    Advertising and trade fair costs

Document group    1

Internal reporting key    540B2

External reporting key    540

Report text    Advertising and trade fair costs

Document group    2

Internal reporting key    900a

External reporting key    900

Report text    Other payments

    (damage replacement payment)

Document group    2

Internal reporting key    900b

External reporting key    900

Report text    Other payments

    (Payment of penalty)

Document group    1

If there is only one possible report text for an external reporting key, and there is no split into document groups, the internal and external reporting keys can be identical.

Directory of Reporting Keys

The directory of reporting keys is a list of all internal reporting keys required for all foreign trade declarations.

Assign a directory to each country.

Example

Requirements

Under Organizational Units -> Set Up Company Codes for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, set the indicator AWM for the company codes that you use.
